Cilantro Lime Brown Rice
Ingredients
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 cups brown rice
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
1
Begin by heating water and brown rice in a saucepan over high heat, stirring occasionally.
2
Once the mixture reaches a rolling boil, decrease the heat to a lower setting and cover the saucepan with a lid.
3
Continue to cook for 30-45 minutes, or until the rice is fully tender and all liquid has been absorbed.
4
Transfer the cooked rice to a large serving dish, allowing it to cool down slightly for 5-7 minutes.
5
In the meantime, prepare a dressing by whisking together freshly squeezed lime juice, minced garlic, olive oil, and salt in a small bowl.
6
Pour the dressing over the cooled rice and gently fold in chopped cilantro.
